Calgary parking ban not in the cards despite significant snowfall

The City of Calgary will not be issuing a snow route parking ban prior to Sunday, November 11, citing the results of recent risk assessment testing.

Prior to Thursday’s snowfall, city officials decided snow bans would not be activated at any time during the period of November 7–11, November 14-18, and December 5-9. The city has planned maintenance on behind the scenes technology during these times.

City crews will continue to salt, grade and plow major routes to address the slippery condition.

The city reminds drivers:

To leave at least three car lengths when travelling behind sanders, graders and plows

To not pass sanders, graders and plows while they are operating

To allow additional time to reach your destination

To reduce their speed

To drive according to the conditions

To drive defensively

To consider delaying their trip until the roads are in better condition
